    Nah, I'm an adult daycare provider in the waste management industry. I handle shitheads and other people's crap.

    The funny part of my job is that it's kinda like being a mortician... ya know, I deal with what people leave behind.

    fflowley Don't just do something, stand there!

    I try to grow and raise as much of the food as possible right out in the fields behind the house.
    Sometimes I play Doctor too, just to keep it interesting.

    I make damn sure I am doing anything but what my degree in IT covered or possibly could.
    oh wait......maybe it just feels that way. On the positive note, my student loans started at the $12,5000 range after the GI bill and are now in the whopping $370 range total. :)

    Food on the table? Shoot an elk every year and grow a big ass garden.

    Money in the bank...? Adult day care and dispute management.

    I'm a creator of internet content. It does not put all that much food on the table.
    I've taught elementary school and before the heart failure was a licensed clinical therapist.
    Basically, I mooch.
